📧 Customise Email Notification Preferences
ChessWorld understands that many players prefer to receive move notifications by email instead of constantly logging in to check their opponent’s moves. Email updates provide a convenient way to stay informed and plan your responses offline.
Why Use Email Notifications?
- Convenience: Collect all your pending moves in one place.
- Offline Planning: Review positions and plan responses before going back online.
- Ideal for Slow Connections: Save time and bandwidth by preparing moves in advance.
Managing Email Flow
📉 Reduce Inbox Volume
If you are playing many games, you may wish to reduce the number of emails you receive. You can pause notifications at any time and resume them later with ease.
✈️ When Away from Base
When travelling or away from your usual email access, you can stop notifications temporarily to avoid clutter. Restarting them is a simple process.
Email Formats
📄 Text Emails
All members can choose to receive simple text emails showing pending move information.
🖼️ HTML Emails for Full Members
Full Members can opt for enhanced HTML emails that include move details and a graphic board diagram. The board is always oriented with your pieces at the bottom, regardless of color, for clarity.
How to Access
You can customise your email preferences by visiting the My Stuff → My Email page.
